Another con, only 10 conning days left until Christmas.

This one claims that I have won $2.5M in the British Lottery.

Absolute nonsense!

Don't be fooled by these scumbags, there is no money; it is just a con designed to steal your identity and/or money from your bank account.

    This message is still roaming around. I got one just like this one. But the agent in charge is calld Gary Spencer. It said that I won it on new Year's eve. but it used the same lottery numbers. So this is a scam. Be very careful with this one. Today its Jan. 4, 2005. I wrote them a message. Let's see what they answer back.

    FYI: I received almost the exact same email scam on 1-1-2005. I called the FBI in Dallas & they informed me that this is most certainly a scam and to delete it. I did. I hope these frauds can be caught!
